Welcome.....
to the first U.K. web-site devoted solely to the interests of free-living wild boar in Britain. After an absence of more than 300 years, wild boar are roaming and breeding in the British countryside once again! For such a large mammal to become accidentally reintroduced into Britain in this day and age is a truly remarkable event, and absolutely fascinating to follow.

A wild boar sow amongst the brambles in an East Sussex woodland. This population established over ten years ago. The boar have become completely nocturnal and very wary of people - a response to considerable hunting pressure.
